GRAYTON BEACH- A vendor was attacked by members of a wedding party, including the bride, after inadvertently photobombing the wedding photos.

The man was coming to pick up his rental beach chairs, which had been moved and stacked by the wedding planner and her crew, according to an offense report from the Walton County Sheriff's Office.

While he was moving the chairs, he showed up in the back drop of the wedding photos. Witnesses told deputies that words were exchanged before several members of the wedding party went to the vendor and "began beating on him," the report said.

At one point, according to the report, the bride joined the scuffle, ending up on the ground.

The vendor was able to escape the group long enough to get a filet knife from his truck, which kept the group back until deputies arrived.

Witnesses told deputies the vendor didn't threaten or approach anyone with the knife.

The vendor said he didn't want to press charges, he just wanted to be left alone, the report said. Witnesses confirmed he'd only been defending himself.

No charges will be filed.
